hello comunity

I would like to know how the value EKNN is configured and if it is stored in which table or condition type ?

Hi,

It cannot be answered, where the value is stored, because it is not a 1:1 assignment of the EKNN and a condition type. EKNN is getting value from the customized subtotal (but depending on scenario this may also vary) which subtotal value might be a result of calculation from multiple conditions, according to the pricing procedure used during the calculation. And I do not need to add probably, that the used pricing procedure depends also on many things. So from where the EKNN is coming from, fully depends on the customizing at the end, which cannot be answered in general.

Best regards,
Andras

thanks Andras for answer , maybe another way of questionning : what is the definition of EKNN ?

EKNN = Purchase price Net / Net
Once Purchasing side price calculation is performed, it is putting the final net purchase price (so w/o taxes) into subtotal 'S' e.g. in the delivered standard procedure and from this subtotal 'S' is then copied into EKNN, being the basis of further calculations on Sales side price calculation afterwards. So, the EKNN (beside of should be the total purchasing price excl. taxes) is a result of your calculation used during the purchasing side calculation.

It might help to understand it if you execute a VKP5 calculation, and check the screens appearing when pressing Purchasing and the Sales button (also using Analysis button can show more details, eg. used pricing procedures in each case). So you can cross check your customizing in tcode v/08 with the values appearing here.

ok . so , at basic level , EKNN not useful to store it as we have the VKP0 stored . EKNN determined at every pricing calculation unless you configure it

for the two steps calculation is EKNN equal to VKP2 ?

Yes, to store price in EKNN is not useful, because it is usually considered as manual condition and process is supplying it with value during the calculation. And yes, in case of two step calculation, the DC sales price will be the base of the store sales price calculation.
